David Melrose is a sadist character comparable to Nurse Ratchet.
Staged over one day, this is a multi-layered character exploration that is interesting but with no likeable character, I find it hard to connect.
Along with the sadistic, dark undercurrent it has a biting, dry sense of humour. It causes a bark of laughter but it's a laugh tinged with bitterness and not enjoyable.
